The design of offshore concrete structures in the future
During the last couple of decades a number of offshore concrete structures have been realized, particularly in the North Sea, but also in other locations. These structures support extensive hydrocarbon production activities of considerable economic worth. Four recent and ongoing projects are described in some detail, to highlight the design and construction of such large projects. Design is important for the successful realization of expensive and multidisciplinary offshore projects. This is true for the detail engineering phase as well as the preceding conceptual and pre-engineering phases. The key to successful design of offshore concrete structures in the future lies in the understanding of key elements of the conceptual design, and their mutual dependence.
